The story of the Renaissance world through the eyes of the artists and Masters of the time, brought to life in a spectacular fully-curated son-et-lumiere experience. The Renaissance was a time of major transformation in the world, through cultural, artistic, political, and economic growth. In this bespoke installation, we invite our audiences to immerse themselves amongst the greatest paintings and artworks of the time; and to explore – through light and sound – the wonder that revolutionised Europe. New soundscapes shroud the building, together with fine art light that is projected onto architectural features transforming the space and enveloping the visitors, reflecting the works and deeds of some of greatest thinkers who emerged through this period which changed the world. A rare opportunity to visit the University Church at night-time, and creating a new sense of place, we encourage visitors to enjoy the late-night hours for a full experience in a building which will be awash with colour and sound. Luxmuralis is a collaborative team of artists from different backgrounds and artistic disciplines creating works across multiple media and presentation formats. Watch the stories come to life through the stained glass windows of our time.
